SMITH M rm phobe IF BUTTLE HILI Active Head of Sanitarium Tells Health Board to Go Ahead and Investigate. ANTI-TUBERCULOSIS MAN ATTACKS MANAGEMENT Hospital Chief Denies Blocking Efforts to Co-ordinate La bors of All Workers. Dr. Claude M. Smith, active head of the Battle Hill sanitarium, 'today In vited a complete probe of the manage ment of the sanitarium as a result of a clash with Dr. R. R. Daly, of anti tuberculosis clinic. Count liman F. J. Spratling, chairman of the council committee supervising the sanitarium management, will intro r’u ea resolution at the next meeting of oum i! asking for an investigation. Councilman A. H. Van Dyke will urge that the hospital be placed under su petvision of the board of health. \ntagonism between the manage ment of the sanitarium and the anti tuber< ilesis society is responsible for the Hash between Dr. Daly and Dr. Smith. From statements made by both physicians it is apparent that the turn Institutions are at swords’ points. Blocking Work, Says Dr. Daly. Dr, Daly told the board of health that the sanitarium was blocking the work of the society in its attempt to follow up tubercular patients. The op position of the hospital management, he said, was to sidetrack a plan to co-ordinate the work of the society, the t ego clinics and the board of health. This Dr. Smith denies, although he ! - he failed to state his objections to the plan when ordered to do so by the board of health. 'lf there is anything wrong with the >' nngement of the Battle Hill sanita rium we want to know it,” said Dr. Smith today, “and I have asked Coun cilman Spratling to order a probe.” Dr. Smith said that Dr. Daly was miffed because he was refused a place on th, Grady hospital staff last spring. L, ' Dr> denies. He said that he not ask for a place on the Grady “’'■iff, but merely the use of the Grady operating room for his work in connec ti with the anti-tuberculosis society. lnis was refused him. Charges Rubbish, Declares Smith. Thia charge that the Battle Hill ■ : irium is blocking the work of the tuberculosis socitey is rubbish,” is "ay Dr. Smith answered the cha reres. 'here is no question but that the "ork of the society is handicapped by attitude of sanitarium manage ment." i s what Dr Da[y had to gay : it the management of the hospital ' * hat it should be, Dr. Daly ■hied, and he said today that he 1 ■ back his assertions that the ’ 'gement was bad, if called upon to Q<» So a king of the management of • io~pital, Dr. Smith said: he hospital represents an expendl but $40,000 and it is doing as ;, !

Aus trian diplomats anxiously awaited news from Bulgaria that they predicted would determine peace or war between the allied kingdoms and the Moslem empire. The anniversary of Bulgarian independence was celebrated at Sofia today and fears were openly expressed here that Czar Ferdinand and his ad visers would use the occasion to pro claim war on Turkey, appealing to the patriotic spirit of the Bulgarians.' One diplomat thus summed up the situation today: “If actual war is not proclaimed by night we can hope for the best. Even if war is declared there will still be a chance, but a slight one. The powers may have influence enough to prevent hostilities if they act in unison.” Austrian railway officials declare war is absolutely certain and all shipments for Servia and Turkey that come in Switzerland were held up at the Aus tro-Swiss border today. Turkish People Clamor for War CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. s.—Prac tical confirmation of the reports that Bulgarian troops have crossed the Turkish frontier were secured here to day. The war ministry announced that there had been skirmishes between Bul gars and Turks on Turkish territory. There was no information available, however, that the main Bulgarian army had moved into Turkey. Gtand Vizier Ghazi Pacha declared that the Ottoman government would do everything compatible with dignity to avert war. although he declared that Turkish outposts had also reported the invasion of Turkish territory by Greek and Servian troops, and that it would be necessaiy for the government to maintain its prestige by force of arms if these reports were true. Although the grand vizier said that conservatives in the government are opposed to the Young Turks’ demand for immediate declaration of war, the spirit of the people must be reckoned with and the populace is almost as a unit in calling for war. A r-markable feature of the public demonstrations here is the great num ber of women who take part in them. Hitherto women have remained in the background when affairs of moment were in the balance in the Turkish cap ital, but in this instance they ar mored either by patriotism or the twentieth century spirit of unrest. ATLANTA, GA., SATUR DAY, OCTOBER 5, 1912. Son Is Sentenced to Term of Three Years For Death of Father Trivial Quarrel Over Scratching Chickens in Hart County Led to Killing, HARTWELL, GA., Oct. s.—Robert Gray was tried and convicted in Hart superior court and sentenced to a term of three years in the penitentiary for killing his father on May 28. The tragedy was the result of a quar rel between father and son over a trivial matter. The elder Gray was in censed over the fact that some chickens belonging to a tenant working for his son had been scratching up his corn which had just been planted. Taking his shotgun he went to the field to kill the fowls, when his son interfered. Hot words and blows followed. Picking up the gun which his father had laid upon the ground, the son fired, the entire load taking effect in the hip, causing the death of his father in less than 24 hours. The death-bed statement of the elder Gray was no doubt the means of sav ing Robert from being convicted on a charge of murder in the first degree. He stated that he believed his son had no intention of pulling the trigger of the gun, and that he was the victim of an accident. The fact, however, that Robert did the shooting with his fath er’s own gun. which he picked up from the ground, was evidence enough to dis prove the plea of accident, and the jury returned a verdict of voluntary man slaughter. $20,000 PAINTING IS MISSING; MORGAN TRIED TO BUY IT PIACENZA, ITALY, Oct. s.—The oval painting of the Madonna of the Rosary by Gatti, for which it is re ported J. Pierpont Morgan offeted $20,- 000. has disappeared from the Church of St. John. The jewels and votive offerings of gold and silver adorning the painting, which is regarded as a miracle worker, also were stolen. The rector of St. Johns church says that several days ago some foreign an tiquarians made another attempt to buy the picture, hut their offers were i (fused, LIEUTENANT IS KILLED WHEN HORSES COLLIDE FORT YELLOWSTONE, WYO„ Oct. o.—Lieutenant Robert Lounsberry, quartermaster in the First cavalry, Sec ond squadron, was thrown from a horse and killed when a troop horse collided with his mount.

MILWAUKEE. WIS., Oct. s.—At 10:09 o’clock Robert Burman, in his giant Benz, was sent away first in a field of twelve in the Grand Prix race, the automobile classic of the year. At intervals of one minute the other cars crossed the starting line and the race was on. The track was in the best con dition it has been in since the racing started. Drivers pronounced it both safe and fast. MILWAUKEE, WIS., Oct. s.—Twelve drivers, considered the pick of the au tomobile world, swung their big racing cars to the starting line just before 10 o’clock today, the hour set for the run ning of the grand prix, as a crowd of 200,000 cheered itself hoarse. Conditions were considered perfect for the premier automobile event. Thou sands of gallons of crude oil were put on the course, and laborers worked all night and early today getting it into shape. The course was closed at 8:30, and 500 militiamen guarded it against encroachers. Barney Oldfield’s eleventh hour deci sion to enter the race in a Fiat switch ed the betting odds, for many in the crowd believed that if anybody could win a race at any time with any kind of a machine, Oldfield is the man. There was not a starter, however, who was not liberally backed, and it was hard to tell who was* the real favorite with the immense throng. Ralph De- Palma’s win of the Vanderbilt cup race, following his Elgin victory, made him a great favorite with the laymen. MISS SALLIE SESSIONS DIES AT MARIETTA HOME MARIETTA, GA., Oct. s.—Miss Sal lie Sessions, daughter of the late Judge W. M. Sessions of Marietta, died at the family residence on Cherokee street.

The indications are that when the petitions are collected and sent to the railroad commission next week, the names of more than 10,000 citizens will have been enrolled.

STRIKE; MEDIATION II HMD > Superintendent Brand Says Freights Will Start From Atlanta And Au gusta During Day—Trouble Likely This Afternoon and Night Along Line. United States Commissioner Neill Still in Augusta Endeavoring to Bring About Peace Engineers Not to Interfere Until There I Danger of Injury From Strike Demonstrations AT GI STA, GA., Oct. s.—The Georgia railroad passenger train No. 1 left this city at 8:30 o’clock this morning for Atlanta. No trou ble is being had witfajhis train and it should reach Atlanta on sched ule time. A train left Atlanta for Augusta at 9:30 o’clock, according to Superintendent W. 8. Brand. No trouble has been reported on the Georgia today, but it is not known what the afternoon and night will bring forth, as practically all of the trouble has been had in the afternoon or at night Superintendent Brand stated this morning that he would start freight trains out of both Augusta and Atlanta at some time today, but he did not name the hours. The passenger trains out of Au gusta and Atlanta are said to be carrying both mail and passen gers. Nothing definite can be announced in regard to the negotiations that are now’ in progress looking toward a set tlement of the strike. Dr. Charles P. Neill, United States commissioner of labor, is still in this city and is holding conferences with the railroad officials and w’lth the rep resentatives of the conductors and trainmen that are on a strake. Dr. Neill is doing his best to bring about media tion, but it is impossible to tell at this time whether or not his efforts will be successful. If he succeeds, it will be known in a day or two. Assistant Grand Chief Burgess, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, stated this morning that he had no statement to make at this time. It is generally understood that he will not interfere until the engineers are in ac tual danger of being Injured. None of the engineer/* has been hurt, so far. Passengers on Floor To Escape Bullets. Train No. 27 arrived in Atlanta last night at 8:55 o'clock with four passen gers, all commercial salesmen, who had been given an exciting ride. They had been sitting on the floor between the seats for many miles in an effort to avoid bullets. The train was fired upon by a crowd of strike sympathizers at Buckhead, a station near Augusta. At Social Circle another volley of shots was heard, but none of the bullets struck the train, and it is believed the crowd was merely trying to frighten the crew. At Stone Mountain the train struck a long stretch of greased track on an upgrade and the driving wheels spun and the engine puffed for a long time before the grease was overcome. Dearing, the little station where Con ductor Merrill was beaten up on Thurs day night, was again the scene of trou ble when train No. 28 from Atlanta reached It last night. The road officials had not made up this train with the mail coach at the rear, as at first, and strike sympathizers cut off all the coaches behind the mall car w’hen the train reached Dearing. They told the engineer he was at liberty to take the malls on to Augusta, but he must not. move anything else. The conductor telephoned t« headquarters for orders and was told to bring everything or nothing. The train spent the night at Dearing. Camak Siding Is Filled With Dead Engines. At Camak there also was trouble for No. 28. The conductor found himself tn a group of men who began a quarrel with the evident intention of dragging him into the row and beating him. He was wise enough to jump back on his train and signal the engineer to pull out, without waiting to unload a ship ment of ice. Atlanta jobbers are beginning to feel seriously the effects of the strike. They are routing many shipments by other roads, but can not reach local points on the Georgia road. Grocers in these points are complaining of running short of foodstuffs, and the famine which threatened residents along the line in the noted firemen's strike of several years | ago is imminent again. Auto trucks are being used by some of the jobbers to deliver goods up to 90 miles away. Fifteen locomotives are reported on the siding at Camak, disabled by hav ing the water drawn from the boilers IXTRS 2 CENTS EVERYWHERE and tanks by cutting- the hose. The freight train held up there was run into a siding and. the air hose cut on each car. The conductor of Na 28. which ar rived In Augusta early today after itsl exciting run, was badly scarred from a beating given him at Dearing. Several glasses were broken in the windows of the coaches. The Pullmans, which are not the property of the Georgia com pany. were uninjured. Jobbers Hard Hit By Strike Tieup. Wholesale merchants who occupy space In the big Louisville and Nash ville terminal building, the concrete structure in Central avenue, are up in the air over Increased expenses follow ing the strike on the Georgia road. Their freight Is being routed into At lanta over the Central and Southern and neither of these roads can deliver a car at the terminal building. The Jobbers are forced to haul their freights from the Central or Southern team tracks to their warehouses, at heavy expense. The Louisville and Nashville, which owns the big concrete structure, is a member of the Atlanta Joint Terminals, with the Georgia and the Atlanta and West Point systems. Only freight com ing in over these roads may be deliv ered at the terminals. Even the West ern and Atlantia, which is owned by the Louisville and Nashville, is not per mitted to enter the tracks at the termi nal building. This road and the Sea board equalize this by paying drayaga expenses, but other roads make ths shippers pay drayage. Some of the biggest flour and grain firms, with a number of important grocery jobbers, occupy the Joint termi nal building, and they virtually are bot tled up by the strike. MEXICAN TELEGRAPH UNDER CENSORSHIP; HUNDREDS IN FLIGHT MEXICO CITY, Oct. s.—Re-estab lishment of the censorship of the fed eral telegraph lines caused deep anxiety here today. Hundreds of Americans and other foreign residents are pre paring to flee. In fear that the situa tion in this state is more serious than the government has admitted. No cen sorship has been placed on the cable, but a rigid one has been fixed on the land lines. Nothing definite has been heard of General Orozco for several days, and it is reported that he has slipped to Cen tral Mexico and has assumed the di rectorship of an army, whose aim is the capture of the capital itself. Noth ing has been heard from General Huer ta, who was recalled because it was be lieved that he had a leaning toward the revolutionary side. It Is reported here that he may have joined the insur rectos. A state of anarchy prevails In south western Durango and southeastern Si naloa. There are no troops available for service there, and the British mines have been abandoned. Foreigners are without protection. Native women have been ortured and slain, and brigands are looting unrestrained. WIFE SHOT WHEN SHE REFUSES TO GET MEAL GRAND RAPIDS, MICH., Oct. 5.
